New company learns from spider`s ability to spin
A new spin-out from Oxford University, Spinox, is aiming to devise novel ways to copy spiders` ability to spin silks. The new silks may be used for sutures or woven material for surgical implants, protective clothing and in sports equipment. Spinox has been set up to fully develop a spinning process to create high performance fibres from natural... view more... (2002-03-07)

Measurements from the edge: magnetic properties of thin films
Materials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), together with colleagues from IBM and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have pushed the measurement of thin films to the edge-literally-to produce the first data on how the edges of metallic thin films contribute to their magnetic properties.   view more (2007-10-01)

What Goes On Underneath Your Feet?
It is generally assumed that heat from Earth's core and mantle, due to the low thermal conductivity of the latter, is transferred to the outer part mainly by convection. This implies swirling movement of an immense amount of hot material, which is behind the dynamics of Earth's interior. Understanding the details of this is of great interest since... view more...

Transition Metal Selenites (Mn, Co, Ni, Fe, Cu, Zn and Cd)
The work involved a multidisciplinary task, undertaking the study of phases of mineralogical and physico-chemical interest. Selenites were synthesised, given that they are a new field and likely to present original physical properties.   view more (2005-09-30)

Cannibalistic Stars hold clue to Big Bang
A team of UK astronomers announced this month the discovery of cannibalistic stars that explain one of the mysteries surrounding the Big Bang. The stars are almost as old as the Universe and they reveal what space was like in the very beginning. The team from the Open University found that a group of 14-billion-year-old stars were all in a spin... view more... (2002-05-10)

New Report Spells Out Potential of Spin-Offs and Start-Ups for UK Universities
UK universities are gaining ground on their US counterparts in the area of spin-off companies and start-up companies1 says a new report published this week by CVCP. "Spin-offs are now being created at the same rate in UK universities as they are in comparable US institutions, " says Sir Douglas Hague, chairman of Wire Ltd, a knowledge... view more...

White Dwarf Pulses Like a Pulsar
New observations from Suzaku, a joint Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NASA X-ray observatory, have challenged scientists' conventional understanding of white dwarfs. Observers had believed white dwarfs were inert stellar corpses that slowly cool and fade away, but the new data tell a completely different story.   view more (2008-01-03)

Quantum chaos unveiled?
A University of Utah study is shedding light on an important, unsolved physics problem: the relationship between chaos theory - which is based on 300-year-old Newtonian physics - and the modern theory of quantum mechanics.   view more (2008-08-07)

The world on a postcard
Keeping up with the information flood demands storage media that are as dense and durable as possible. A solution being developed by researchers in Dresden uses modified films containing diamond-like carbon, resulting in fifty times more storage capacity than the best disk drives. The basic principle of data storage revolves around the permanent... view more... (2004-05-14)
